Default Basic tire question and suspension

So I am currently running on 19x8 +40mm and 19x9.5 +40. I know high offset, wheels off my last car. I am lowered on coilovers and I am going to be getting the car corner balanced and new tires put on and alignment soon. I was wondering if anyone can help me with a nice setup for camber? I prefer to make my tires last longer, but I want grip still. Looking into the typical michlen PSS or PS2. If anyone has recommendations on that let me know as well

My cars current tire setup is to big(about 3% difference) I will be adjusting that with the new tires. So with all this being said what type of camber would be recommendations for my car?

On BC coilovers with the Swift springs, fsport sways, under brace.

Please ask away if I missed anything

Current setup

I like mine around 1.8 degrees all-around. Doesn't "eat" tires (even 240 treadwear ones). I'm also on BCRs running 19s (225/30 and 255/30) with a +20 offset.

Sorry cant help you with regards to camber but as far as tires go, look into the new BFgoodrich g-force comp2 A/S. I replaced my Conti DWS with these and I love them already. Much improved steering feel and cornering stability. They have excellent reviews on tirerack and theyre all season capable unlike the PSS or PS2 since youre in CT.
